If you interact with us online, we use cookies and other technological tools to collect information about your computer and your use of our website and applications. We treat this information as PII when it is associated with your Contact Information.

3. How TST Uses PII

TST may use the information we collect from you when you request a quote, sign up for our email marketing, respond to a survey or marketing communication, open videos or download attachments, surf the website or use certain other site features in the following ways:

  • Fulfill your requests for products or services and for related activities, such as product and service delivery, customer service, account management, support and training and to provide other services related to your relationship with TST.
  • Provide you with marketing communications and offers for products and services from TST and, in some cases, our partners, including offers targeted based on your interests, business characteristics and location;
  • Provide you with additional information that may be of interest; and
  • Manage our everyday business needs, such as payment processing and financial account management, product development, contract management, website administration, forum management, fulfillment, analytics, security and fraud prevention, corporate governance, reporting and legal compliance and business continuity.

In the event of a merger, sale or bankruptcy or the assignment of ownership, and/or any other business transition, we reserve the right to transfer or assign your information that we have collected as part of any business transaction. In some cases, we may not be able to control how your PII is used, such as in the case of bankruptcy.

4. Why PII is Disclosed by TST

TST understands that you do not want us to provide your PII to third parties for their own marketing purposes. We limit our sharing of your PII as follows:

  • We may share your PII with our affiliates, which may only use your PII for the purposes listed above.
  • We may also share your PII with our service providers, which are bound by law or contract to protect your PII and only use your PII in accordance with our instructions;
  • We may share your PII with business partners, but only to the extent you have purchased product or service from such partner, interacted with such partners, or otherwise authorized the sharing;
  • We may also disclose PII when required to do so by law, such as in response to a subpoena, including to law enforcement agencies and courts in the United States or other countries where we operate;
  • Please note that we may also use and disclose information about you that is not personally identifiable.

5. Cookies and Other Data Collection Technologies and Google Analytics

When you visit our website, we collect certain Transaction Information by automated means, using technologies such as cookies, pixel tags, browser analysis tools, server logs and web beacons.

For example, when you visit our website, we place cookies on your computer. Cookies are small text files that websites send to your computer or other Internet-connected device to uniquely identify your browser or to store information or settings in your browser. Cookies allow us to recognize you when you return. They also help us provide a customized experience and enable us to detect certain kinds of fraud. In many cases, you can manage cookie preferences and opt-out of having cookies and other data collection technologies used by adjusting the settings on your browser. All browsers are different, so visit the “help” section of your browser to learn about cookie preferences and other privacy settings that may be available.

6. Google Analytics

TST uses Google Analytics. For information on how Google Analytics uses data please visit “How Google uses data when you use our partners’ sites or apps”, located at www.googlecom/policies/privacy/partners.

We have not enabled Google AdSense on our website, but we may do so in the future.

7. Your California Privacy Rights

Residents of the State of California, under California Civil Code § 1798.83, have the right to request from companies conducting business in California a list of all third parties to which the company has disclosed personal information during the preceding year for direct marketing purposes. Alternatively, the law provides that if the company has a privacy policy that gives either an opt-out or opt-in choice for use of your personal information by third parties (such as advertisers) for marketing purposes, the company may instead provide you with information on how to exercise your disclosure choice options.

TST qualifies for the alternative option. We have a comprehensive Online Privacy Statement and provide you with details on how you may either opt-out or opt-in to the use of your personal information by third parties for direct marketing purposes. Therefore, we are not required to maintain or disclose a list of the third parties that received your personal information for marketing purposes during the preceding year.

If you are a California resident and request information about how to exercise your third-party disclosure choices, please email us your request.

8. How We Handle Do Not Track Signals

We honor Do Not Track signals or use advertising when a Do Not Track (DNT) browser mechanism is in place. It is also important to note that we do not allow third-party behavioral tracking.

9. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)

When it comes to the collection of PII from children under the age of 13 years old, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission, the United States’ consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children’s privacy and safety online.

TST does not specifically market to children under the age of 13 years old.

10. Your Choices

12. Information Security: How We Protect Your PII

Please note that TST does not sell, trade or rent our users’ PII to others. Your information remains strictly company confidential at TST.

TST only provides articles and information on our website and TST does not offer payment processing, e-commerce or order processing systems on our website. We do not use vulnerability scanning and/or scanning to PCI standards. We never ask for credit card numbers or process credit cards on our website. All order placement is made offline, not via the Internet, and is placed using traditional methods such as phone, email, written communications and then entered into a secure database on our private local area network.

TST has implemented an information security program that contains administrative, technical and physical controls that are designed to safeguard your PII.

We have implemented a variety of security measures when a user places an order and enters, submits or accesses their information to maintain the safety of your PII. We use regular malware scanning. Your PII is contained behind secure networks and is only accessible by a limited number of persons who have special access rights to such systems and are required to keep the PII confidential.

For your convenience, we may store your credit card information for more than 60 days in order to expedite future orders and to automate the billing process. In addition, all sensitive credit card information you supply is encrypted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology.

13. Notice to Residents of Countries outside the U.S.

TST is headquartered in the United States of America. Your PII may be accessed by or transferred to the United States or to data processors elsewhere in the world. By providing us with your PII, you consent to this transfer. We will always protect the privacy and security of your PII regardless of where it is processed or stored.
